BRIEF OVERVIEW
Rezoning Request:
Rezoning from R-1B (Residential) to PDP(SF)/Planned Development Project (Single Family)
General Location:
North side of Eagle Nest Drive, west and north of Maplewood Drive
Parcel Key Number:
153078, 1411369, 153103, 1411378, 153112, 1411378
Summary of the Applicant’s Request:
The applicant is requesting a rezoning from R-1B (Residential) to PDP(SF)/Planned Development Project (Single-Family). The PDP(SF) zoning designation permits all principal and special exception uses allowed within the R-1A, R-1B, R-1C, R-2.5, R-2, and R-1MH zoning districts.
The applicant proposes to expand the residential development options currently available on the subject property by allowing two-family dwellings in addition to the previously approved single-family detached dwellings. Both housing types shall be developed in accordance with the R-2 (Residential) development standards, which permit single-family and two-family residential uses.
The subject property consists of six existing platted lots that are vested for six single-family dwelling units. Under the proposed PDP(SF) zoning, the applicant seeks authorization to develop up to six two-family dwellings, resulting in a maximum of twelve residential dwelling units on the site. The two-family dwellings may be constructed in a variety of configurations, including side-by-side or stacked units, and ownership arrangements may vary.
The applicant also retains the ability to develop one or more of the existing platted lots with single-family detached dwellings. The subject property consists of six existing platted lots ranging from approximately 0.93 acres to 3.25 acres in size. The existing plat configuration allows up to six dwelling units, equating to an overall density of approximately 0.51 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Master Plan would permit a maximum of twelve dwelling units, resulting in an overall density of approximately 1.02 dwelling units per acre.
The proposed Master Plan provides flexibility to develop the property in any one of, or a combination of, the following configurations:
• Six (6) single-family detached dwelling units constructed on the existing six platted lots;
• Six (6) duplex buildings, each containing two attached dwelling units under single ownership, constructed on one, several, or all of the existing six platted lots; and/or
• Up to twelve (12) fee-simple villa lots created through a replat of the existing six lots into as many as twelve individual lots, allowing for the construction of up to twelve (12) attached villa units. Each villa unit may be separately owned and conveyed on an individual fee-simple lot.
Deviations Requested:
• Setbacks:
o Front: 20’ (Deviation from 25’)
o Sides: 7.5ˈ(Deviation from 10ˈ),
o Sides Two Family Dwelling: 0’ (Deviation from 10’)
• Maximum Height - 45’ (Deviation from 35’)
• Minimum Lot Width at the Building Line - 30’ (Deviation from 75’)
• Minimum Street Frontage: 30’ (Deviation from 50”)
